Helpful Tip

Alright, for those of us who don't want to log onto Blogger every time to post something, here is a better plan, and it works wonders for me. There is a setting so that you can simply send an email to your blog, which then automatically and instantly posts itself. This is far easier for me since I usually have my email program running all the time. Ok, so here's how to do it.

First, sign in to your blog and go to where you normally post a new 'post'. Click on the settings tab at the top, and then click on the "Email" tab below that. There are two boxes on the "email" page, and the second one is how you set the email address for your blog posts. I put the word "send" in that box, so when I send an email to briansblog.send@blogger.com it automatically posts it to the blog. Don't forget that once you put text in that box, you must save it. Check and see if it works, and then add that email address to your address book. Blogging just got easier!

Oh, and when you send an email to that address, the Subject in the email becomes the header for your post. Hope this helps somebody!
